Exclamation HELP! Clicking noise in the front annoyance!

Clicking noise that's annoying. Anyone else had this problem? This started to happen recently. I had compression rods and motor mounts replaced under warranty. The noise disappeared for a day or 2, then it came back. Anyone can help on this? This is so annoying already. It happens over bumps and driving slow. The noise sounds like its coming from the left front, but I can't figure it out.

Here's a video I just did right now. Maybe that can help? Sorry if its a bad video.

I was thinking it might be the steering rack as well. Everything is tight. I checked earlier today. I sprayed some silicone on the sway bar end links, but the noise still stayed the same. I don't know what else could it be at this point. Its been like this for the past few weeks. Its been so annoying! Ugh.

Turned out to be something else..sigh..

The motor mount that just recently got replaced was getting loose somehow. My guy and me tightened it. The noise went away! As soon as I got home, the noise started again, but its not as loud. I'm wondering why is that bolt getting loose that easily. Would it be best if I put blue loctite on it? I know the red loctite is permanent so I gotta use the non-permanent one. Would that be a good idea? Or should I take it back to Infiniti to get it fixed once more? Its aggrivating me to know that an Infiniti tech kinda half-assed my car now, ugh.

you really think the dealership techs genuinely care about your car? or anyone elses but there own for that matter? haha. This is why they're called the STEALership.

At first I thought they did. This is the second time I ever got my car done like that. 1 more strike, I'm taking it somewhere else. Would it be better if I just put blue loctite on that bolt and put back in place? I don't want to find out while driving that I hear a sudden crack noise and find out I'm SOL of a car until that gets fixed again. Any suggestions?

motor mount bolt loose?

Hey my car would shake if I was accelerating and hit a bump. It wouldn't go away till I let go of the gas. I brought it in and they said it was a loose motor mount bolt. It was a nissan dealership b/c I bought my car from a nissan dealership with the warranty. They charged me $118 and told me if the problem comes back then I have to bring it to an infiniti dealership. It came loose like a day later. I really don't want to pay another dealership for this same problem and I have no clue where this motor mount bolt is. Are these motor mount bolts hard to find?
Ps. I paid nissan b/c I have a deductible. Lol.
